U.S. cages people at 5 times world's per-capita incarceration rate: report

NEW YORK, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The United States has been solving its crime problem by putting people in cages, currently with five percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's prisoners, reported The Davis Vanguard on Sunday.

"In other words, it cages people at five times the world's per-capita incarceration rate," said the local news portal based in the city of Davis, Yolo County, California, noting that "putting people behind bars is not a crime remedy."
